Kitten's Joy hails from a versatile sireline, but up to this point, he has been firmly entrenched in his own niche. The Eclipse Award champion turf male has become a dominant leading turf sire, with sparing success on dirt. He joined the ranks of his family with high-end success on multiple surfaces on Saturday, recording his first Grade 1 winner on dirt as Tripoli prevailed in the Pacific Classic at Del Mar to stamp himself as a leading candidate for the Breeders' Cup Classic at the same track.
Tapit has already set high bars of stallion success for himself, but keeps finding newer, and higher, bars to clear. Over the weekend, the stallion became the all-time leading North American sire by career progeny earnings, a bankroll he should continue to add to to extend his dominance.

There could hardly have been a sire more appropriate to give trainer Steve Asmussen a record victory than Tapit. The Hall of Fame trainer became North America's all-time career wins leader on Saturday at Saratoga when the Tapit colt Stellar Tap won on debut.
